Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker
An Information Collection Request (ICR) is a federal agency's request for approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to collect information from the public.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), agencies must justify why the information is needed and how it will be used.
Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify, or discontinue an information collection. Each ICR includes a description of the collection,
supporting materials and documentation (such as forms, surveys, or scripts), and proof that the agency has met the requirements of the PRA.
The ICR is submitted to the The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within OMB for review and approval. OIRA grants approval for a maximum of three years, after
which the collection must be renewed through a new ICR submission.
ICRs are publicly available on RegInfo.gov, and additional guidance can be found in the FAQs.

Compliance Labeling of Reflective Material for Trailer Conspicuity
Key Information
Abstract
This information collection is mandatory under 49 CFR 571.108 for manufacturers of retroreflective sheeting. This collection involves disclosure by requiring manufacturers of retroreflective sheeting to permanently mark the letters “DOT-C2”, DOT-C3”, or “DOT-C4” at least 3mm high at regular intervals on retroreflective sheeting material having adequate performance for certifications and identification purposes. This is an as-needed collection that manufacturers comply with labeling retroreflective sheeting as being compliant with NHTSA’s performance requirements. Manufacturers of trailers and truck tractors that are required to apply retroreflective sheeting to their vehicles use the information on the label as an assurance that the sheeting complies with the standard, and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) uses the information to ensure compliance with in-service requirements for regulated vehicle operators. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, “Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment” specifies requirements for vehicle lighting for the purposes of reducing crashes and the injuries and deaths resulting from crashes by providing adequate roadway illumination, improved vehicle conspicuity, and appropriate information transmission through signal lamps, in both day, night, and other conditions of reduced visibility. To provide effective trailer conspicuity, FMVSS No. 108 requires the permanent marking of the letters “DOT-C2”, DOT-C3”, or “DOT-C4” at least 3 mm high at regular intervals on retroreflective sheeting material having adequate performance for certifications and identification purposes. The manufacturers of new truck tractors and trailers are required to certify that their products are equipped with retroreflective material complying with the requirements of the standard. FMCSA enforces this and other standards through roadside inspections of trucks. There is no practical field test for the performance requirements, and labeling is the only objective way of distinguishing trailer conspicuity grade material from lower performance material. Without labeling, FMCSA would not be able to enforce the performance requirements of the standard and the compliance testing of new tractors and trailers would be complicated. Labeling is also important to small trailer manufacturers, which might not have the capability to test the tape and therefore could rely on the certification provided by the retroreflective sheeting manufacturer to help them certify compliance. Because wider stripes or material of lower brightness also can provide the minimum safety performance, the marking system serves the additional role of identifying the minimum stripe width required for retroreflective conspicuity of the particular material. Since the last notice, the estimated number of respondents, burden hours and costs were revised. The number of respondents was revised from six respondents to three, based on the number of identified manufacturers of retroreflective tape. The total burden hours were revised from one hour to three hours based on the number of respondents and required reporting tasks. The labor cost associated with the burden hours was also revised to $102.57. The total annual cost burden was revised from $1,000 to $4,000 based on the number of trailers and truck tractors registered in the United States and updated |

Interim Procedures for Considering Requests under the Commercial Availability Provision of the United States-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement
Key Information
Abstract
The United States and Colombia negotiated the U.S.-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement ("the Agreement"), which was implemented into U.S. law pursuant to the United States-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement Implementation Act ("the Act"). The Agreement entered into force on May 15, 2012. Under the provisions of the Act, textile and apparel goods must contain fibers, yarns, and fabrics produced in Colombia or the United States to receive duty-free tariff treatment. The Agreement also provides for the establishment of a list of specific fibers, yarns, and fabrics that are not available in commercial quantities in a timely manner from producers in the United States or Colombia. Articles containing these commercially unavailable fibers, yarns, and fabrics are also entitled to duty-free or preferential duty treatment despite not being produced in the United States or Colombia. The list of commercially unavailable fabrics, yarns, and fibers may be changed pursuant to the commercial availability provision of the Agreement and the Act. Under Section 203(o) of the Act ("the commercial availability provision"), interested entities from Colombia or the United States have the right to request that a specific fiber, yarn, or fabric be added to, or removed from, the list of commercially unavailable fibers, yarns, and fabrics. Section 203(o) of the Act requires that the President establish procedures for parties to follow when exercising the right to make these requests. The President delegated the responsibility for publishing the procedures and administering commercial availability requests to the Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements ("CITA"), which issues procedures and acts on requests through the Office of Textiles and Apparel ("OTEXA"). In accordance with the commercial availability provision, CITA has implemented procedures to collect certain information about the technical specifications of certain fibers, yarns, or fabrics and the production capabilities of U.S. textile suppliers to determine whether certain fibers, yarns, or fabrics are available in commercial quantities in a timely manner in the United States. The intent of these procedures is to foster trade in U.S. and Colombian textile and apparel articles by allowing non-originating fibers, yarns, and fabrics to be placed on or removed from a list of items not available in commercial quantities, on a timely basis, and in a manner that is consistent with normal business practice. To this end, these procedures are intended to facilitate the transmission, on a timely basis, of requests for commercial availability determinations and offers to supply the products that are the subject of the requests; have the market indicate the availability of the supply of the subject products; make available promptly, to interested entities and parties, information received regarding the requests for products and offers to supply; ensure wide participation by interested entities and parties; provide careful scrutiny of information provided to substantiate order requests and responses with offers to supply; and provide timely public dissemination of information used by CITA in making commercial availability determinations. CITA must collect certain information about fabric, yarn, or fiber technical specifications and the production capabilities of Colombian and U.S. textile producers to determine whether certain fabrics, yarns, or fibers are available in commercial quantities in a timely manner in the United States or Colombia, subject to Section 203(o) of the Act. |

NESHAP for Wood Furniture Manufacturing Operations (40 CFR part 63, subpart JJ) (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Wood Furniture Manufacturing Operations (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart JJ) apply to both existing and new wood furniture manufacturing operations that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). A major source is a stationary source or group of stationary sources that emit or have the potential to emit 10 tons per year (tpy) or more of a HAP or 25 tpy or more of a combination of HAPs. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. These standards also apply to existing and new incidental sources and to area sources. These sources are only required to maintain purchase or usage records demonstrating that they meet the definition for incidental or area sources. Incidental and area sources are not subject to any other provisions of these standards. An incidental source, as defined in these standards, is a major source that is primarily engaged in the manufacture of products other than wood furniture or wood furniture components, and that uses no more than 100 gallons per month of finishing material or adhesives in the manufacture of wood furniture or wood furniture components. An area source is any stationary source that is not a major source. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart JJ. |
